Hello / Model Spec for D3

[aussiewhippet]

Hello, i have recently joined this forum in order to learn more about a D3 before i buy one.

I am looking to purchase a D3 spending around 45k. I have noticed the different models but I can't work out the difference. can someone let me know what the difference between the S, SE and HSE??

It's no doubt posted somewhere else but I can't find it.

Cheers

WEll , being an Aussiewhippet , think of Belmont/Kingswood/Premier .LOL
The biggest difference is in the Suspension ,Air or Coil . If you get a owners manual from any 2005-2009 D3 , then you can really confuse yourself ! as it appears to cover all models/optionsns but fergets to say which one youve got LOL

Here's an old spec page that might help with more recent D3 specs.

As you can see, some spec changes were made mid-model ...

great, thanks for your answers.

soo, does anyone know when the air suspension was introduced? should i avoid a model that doesn't have it?

Air suspension has been on the D3 since day dot.

D3 S was coils. TDV6 only I think.
D3 SE was air suspension, TR, 7 seats, etc. V6 petrol or TDV6
HSE was the SE with more fruit. V8 petrol or TDV6.

Get the air suspension if you can. It's a great ride.
